The Scarborough Community Council held a statutory public meeting on June 5, 2025, and notice was given in accordance with the Planning Act.

This report recommends approval of the application to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, to permit the construction of two L-shaped residential buildings with heights ranging from 10 to 23 storeys at 3434 Lawrence Avenue East. A total of 855 units are proposed within a total gross floor area of approximately 59,794 square metres. A total of 559.5 square metres of ground floor non-residential floor area is also proposed. A new north-south public road located on the western boundary of the site and a new public park located to the east of the site would also form part of the proposed redevelopment.

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan.

This report recommends a Holding (H) provision on the subject site to ensure that the identified infrastructure matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer, Engineering Construction Services.

The site is also subject to a Draft Plan of Subdivision application for which a future report will be brought forward to Scarborough Community Council.
